Rather than multiple live tutorials working through the same material, a single pre-recorded tutorial covering the week’s tutorial content such as demonstrating the working for a set of problems should be made available for all students.

Recordings can be made using Echo360 Universal Capture, Zoom, Microsoft PowerPoint or any other recording software. The table below includes links to ANU supported software and details some of their key features.

Availability

As for pre-recorded lectures availability of recorded tutorials should be consistent week to week.

Routine scheduling of live tutorial/tutor consultation/discussion sessions at the start of the semester is recommended to provide structure, consistency with the on-campus routine, and a sense of belonging among the student cohort. 

Weekly live tutorial/tutor consultation/discussion sessions should be available on Wattle for student enrolment. This can be achieved using the group self-select activity or scheduler.
